CHERRY, RHUBARB, RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM
I have always wanted to make jam out of my rhubarb, but did not want it to sweet or to sour..and I love cherries so I went to the cupboard and revamped a recipe that I had.

Steps:
- 1. Gather you ingredients to make your jam.
- 2. Cook rhubarb, sugar and water until it comes to a boil. It should about 7 - 10 minutes. (I used a potato masher to mash up the rhubarb just a little. It does break down fast though and doesn't need much mashing.)
- 3. Add drained pineapple and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from stove and add jello, stirring till it is dissolved.
- 4. Put into sterilized jars and place the lids on. I let my jars rest on the counter for about an hour and then stored them in the freezer.
- 5. I am pleased to say, that I added a 20 oz. can of drained pineapple and the jam still set up.
- 6. Label your jars and make sure you put a date on them. This jam will be good in the freezer up to a year and once opened good only for 1 month.
- 7. Nephew Brendan taste testing jams, jellies, preserves and marmalades. He and his brother Noah especially loved this jam.
Tips:
- Select the right rhubarb: Choose firm, bright red stalks for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the rhubarb: Remove any leaves and the tough ends of the stalks.
- Chop the rhubarb: Cut the rhubarb into small pieces for even cooking.
- Use a heavy-duty pot: A large, heavy-duty pot will help to prevent the jam from sticking and burning.
- Cook the jam over medium-low heat: This will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
- Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer will help you to ensure that the jam has reached the correct temperature.
- Process the jam in a boiling water bath: This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb freezer jam is a delicious and easy-to-make spread that can be enjoyed all year long. By following these tips, you can make sure that your rhubarb freezer jam turns out perfectly every time.
